What have you been up to my lil guy!? :]
-You are in size 4 diapers and 12 month clothes. You are a long lil fella and built just like Eli was at your age – it’s so so cute :]
-You take a 2-3 hour nap everyday and it is usually between 1pm and 4pm and you also go to sleep at 9pm and wake up around 7:30am -- you are a very good sleeper just like big brother has always been! Both of you love your sleep!!!!
-You have a total of 2 teeth that are both on the bottom! I am not sure if anymore will be popping thru anytime soon!?!? Your nose has finally stopped running from teething and you are still drooling but not as much – so we shall see :]
-Your favorite thing to do is stand up alllll by yourself!!!! You stand there with a HUGE smile on your face and clap your hands and it is soooo cute! Eli will say “ZACARYS STANDIN ZACARYS STANDIN UP” and I say “Yaaaaaay you’re standing!!!” and clap my hands and he is sooooo proud of himself – it is so so adorable! No steps yet BUT he does walk across the couch by holding on and will walk a couple steps with a walker toy too!!
-Mommy has tried to hold your hands and let you walk while holding my hands like we always did with Eli and you will walk a few steps and then just look back at me and smile and laugh and want back down :] It’s so precious! I know sooner or later you will be walking – especially since you are constantly standing yourself up all by yourself!!! SO proud of you my lil guy!!!
-You seem to try to get into anything you can and most of the time it is something you shouldn’t be getting into!!! I am constantly running left and right after you lil boy :] It is so funny tho b/c Eli is such a good big brother and Mommy’s lil helper! He will lead Zacary to what he should do and shouldn’t do and it is so darn sweet and very smart too! Zacary is one fast lil fella but Mommy is always faster haha! You learn these fast skills with 2 lil boys :] Love every single second!!!
-You do not talk a whole lot and I actually questioned the Dr on this. She said this is very normal for a 2nd child. They hear Mommy and Daddy and brother talking and think we will just do all the talking for the time being!! She said he will come along and be on track with talking for sure just doesn’t always seem to start around the same time as our 1st child does! I was beginning to worry a bit bc we talk to him all the time and he can hear fine bc he knows his name and responds to things very fast but I wanted to ask in case! He does wave HI and will mock us and say HI back awww and he says Mama, Dada, and owwww. He also will play patty cake, peek-a-boo, and claps his hands to any song we listen to :] He is big into rocking himself back and forth and dancing too awwww!
-You are constantly smiling at everything and everyone, as well as laughing and giving big ole cute smiles to Mommy and Daddy and big Brother :] We have heard so many people say how much you and big brother smile and are such good boys and it makes me even more proud of you both every single time I hear someone say it to us :] You are such a friendly lil guy!! You and brother are both so darn sweet and such cuties – it melts my heart and makes me one proud Mommy for sure!!!!!
-You now are also drinking out of a sippy cup and so far it is going very good! We give you sippy cups with juice and then you still are on 3 bottles of formula a day too. One in mid-morning, one in the afternoon, and one at night. Soon we will be working on switching that to 2 bottles a day and erasing out the afternoon bottle. This is going to be hard for me because you want Mommy to feed you and snuggle with me and rock you everyday before nap and bed time and I looooove doing this for sure!!! I love it Eli loves to cuddle too and we do it everyday before nap and bed and it is awesome!! BUT hey we can do that with sippy cups too hehehe :]
-You will feed yourself finger foods, and then your puffs, cheerios, yogurt bites, etc too. It’s so amazing you are learning how to feed yourself oh so quick!!! You love it tho and you are a very good eater and will seriously eat anything we put in front of you :]
-You eat three meals a day- breakfast, lunch, and then dinner too. You are eating all table food now. You want nothing to do with baby food unless it is fruit baby food. You love love love- mac n cheese, apple sauce, mac n cheese, grilled cheese, mashed potatoes, cheerios, yogurt bites, puffs, crackers, and animal crackers!
-Some of your favorites are sitting on big brother’s four wheeler toy, your outside baby swing, any kind of food there is haha, standing up on anything, smiling, laughing, throwing a ball, playing with any kind of toy, crawling, love to dance to music and hear music too, love to watch Mickey Mouse clubhouse and any other show big brother watches too (right now the Wiggles is a top fave by both boys and their songs are too) :], you love to play with your big brother and absolutely adore him and it is so darn cute to see you 2 together (Eli always wants to include Zacary in everything and it’s so precious! It’s such a great big brother to be that way too awww! Makes me smile so so so much!!), you love to fly on the “airplane” (which is Mommy’s legs) I do this with both boys and they get so tickled and just laugh and love it! You love brother’s race car toys, markers, just any toy ever. You are also loving to play brother’s drums and you stand up and beat the sticks on the drum and just smile away and it is sooooo cute!!! You love to eat, cuddle, to be outside, stick your tounge out when you smile, swim, do anything in the world that big brother is doing, love to be held on our laps, have your face light up and smile so much when Mommy comes in to get you in the mornings and at nap, you have a thing for Mommy's blow dryer, hair brushes, and my lap top haha! I always tease Noah and say he is gunna be a hair stylist hahahaha! You follow Mommy around everywhere awwww!!! You love to chase the cat, try to get ahold of things you shouldn’t hahaha, and you are an animal lover! You are an all around cute and precious lil baby boy just like big brother :]
I can’t believe my baby is 10 months old!!! I have already started thinking and gathering stuff together for his first birthday! Eli picked out the theme and it is Lightning McQueen :]:] The same lady that made Eli's cake is making Zacary's too!!! CRAZY how fast time flies!!! I am having a hard time with him turning 1 -- it just means he is gunna be 1 so so soon and then Eli will shortly be 3 after that! It's so bittersweet to me!
Zacary Brenden you and big Brother are my pride and joy and make my life even more complete then I ever thought it could be! Your Daddy is also a great person just like you lil boys, and I am so thankful for you all each and every day. I look forward to being home with you and big brother every day and sharing those moments with you both every single day. I also look forward to your sweet Daddy coming home every day for 1- I am so excited to see him and be with him the rest of the evening for our family time together and 2- to see both you and Eli’s sweet faces light up bc he is an awesome Daddy to you sweet boys!!! I am so thankful for such good and healthy lil boys! You both are so wonderful and amazing and make Motherhood the best thing in this world!! If it wasn’t for your amazing Daddy and you sweet babies, I would seriously not be the person I am today. Being a Mommy and a wife is one of the best things to ever happen to me! Mommy Daddy and big Brother love you so much baby boy :] HAPPY 10 MONTHS!!!
*Zacary kept pushing the button to the tool box and rocking back and forth dancing and Eli and I were dying laughing -- Zacary got to laughing too haha soooooo adorable to see the 2 of them laughing together ♥♥
*This is the funny face Zacary is into making lately hahahaha it cracks us up every single time :]
*"Mommy can I please take T-Bone down to eat breakfast too!?" :] Such a sweet lil guy!!!! ♥
*Eli and I were sayin "where's Zacary!?" and he plays peek-a-boo with us and gets so tickled but today he would only cover one eye and look at us with the other hahahaha so darn cute!!! My babies are always making me laugh and smile -- Just LOVE it!!
*The funny face strikes again hahahahaha! It makes me smile so much -- I love love love you my lil guy ♥
I took a pic of Eli in this same Roethlisberger jersey when he was at 10 months old too -- and I just had to compare the 2 of them in it of course!!! You can sure tell they are sweet brothers -- but then they have their own look to them too! SOOOO cute :] Eli has grown soooooo much -- look how lil he is!!! TEAR...
